With these type of jets, you can hit the carpet fiber more on the side then you see in the drawing.
Use about 800 psi, and using a water temperature of 160 degrees as the water pressure is greater for cleaning the fiber on 2 sides in one pass.

=====================

This here is a water jet, made of plastic and used for underground sprinkling. It is the best image I could find on line to show a better water jet, that would be for carpet cleaning wands.

If one like this type, like a flood jet with about 1/8 or 1/16 inch opening, enters the chamber on the side instead of the top, using about 1/2 less jets, custom made to apply a even spray on carpet, is probably easier to make and maintain then the original jets I had showing in drawing.

That is a good point. Kinda like hydramaster’s DriMaster rotary. Low pressure sheet of water so it doesn’t over penetrate which leads to its great dry times. But the one downside is it was meant for cleaner carpets. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to clean a rat nasty with it

My experience is most folks love them and think they look very professional. I emphasize most, not all. I try to do the job to eliminate any chance of a callback to the very best of my ability. If I think the marks are going to be a problem I either do my old style with the wand not leaving any marks or rake the marks out afterward on rare occasion.

I doubt if that whole Hydroforce mix was more than a few bucks and likely he had quite a bit left over for another job. My guess about 2 to 3 bucks chemical cost on that job. Excuse me, cleaning agents.
